G7 Summit 2024: US President Joe Biden, known for making frequent gaffes in public, was seen awkwardly saluting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after arriving in Italy for the G7 summit on Thursday. He later walked away from the group of leaders while they posed for a photo. A video of the interaction shows Biden slowly walking towards the stage to meet Meloni. The two hug and talk for a while before the US President salutes her by placing his hand on his forehead, then slowly walks off the stage.
In another video, 81-year-old Biden is seen smiling and slowly walking away from a group of world leaders. After walking a few feet, he enthusiastically gives someone a thumbs up. As the camera pans towards him, no one is seen standing in that direction. The Italian Prime Minister quickly comes to his aid, turning his attention to the group of leaders who are posing for a photo. Biden then walks back to the group of G7 leaders.
Totally good person Giorgia Meloni redirecting to Joe Biden with subtlety for the photo.
Democrats are sons of bitches, let this man live out his remaining time in peace. Stop using him.pic.twitter.com/MGMBGMh8aE
